Mrs. Xiao pulled Xi Hongdou to ask, and Xi Hongdou told her about the restaurant, but Mrs. Xiao was surprised, but she was careful.

"So that's the case, let Uncle Fang also learn Jiangnan cuisine tomorrow." Mrs. Xiao said, lest she come back so late.

Xi Hongdou thought about it for a while, and said: "The master should just miss his hometown, eating these is also a thought, why don't Mrs. go back to his hometown with the master?" ”

Mrs. Xiao sighed: "Now the affairs of the old man's yamen are already busy, and the previous Shangshu is in a daze, the old man is a waiter, and the work of Shangshu and the waiter has to be done, and it is not easy to leave." ”

Xi Hongdou also felt helpless, he could only go back to his hometown once a year, not to mention that an official as big as Master Xiao, in the adult world, there is really no easy word.

Mrs. Xiao was much more considerate to Mr. Xiao that night, Mrs. Xiao grew up in Kyoto City, unlike Mr. Xiao who came to Kyoto City from Jiangnan to enter the school, and then the affairs of the court and the family were all supported by Mr. Xiao, who was a wife, did not take care of her in-laws so meticulously, and now that her father-in-law is gone, there is only one mother-in-law left, she always feels that her mother-in-law is in charge of her, so thinking about it, her daughter-in-law is not very competent.

"Master, my father has been gone for so long, and the ashes have been offered in the temple, I thought, otherwise send the ashes back to your Xiao family's ancestral grave, and let his old man feel at ease." Mrs. Xiao suggested.

When Master Xiao saw that his wife suddenly mentioned this, he also guessed that his wife knew about going to the restaurant to eat Jiangnan cuisine, so he said: "The road is too far, and my father has also been an official in Kyoto City all his life, so it is the same to enter the soil here." ”

"I'm not afraid, the master can't leave, it's nothing for me, a daughter-in-law, to go on a trip, and my mother can't stand the toss when she's old, otherwise she will definitely agree." Mrs. Xiao said.

Master Xiao felt that he had been really flattered in the past few days, but his wife's proposal was also considerate of his feelings, so he said, "Then it will be too hard for you to go back alone." ”

Mrs. Xiao thought about it, so she said: "It is estimated that it will take half a month to go back and forth in my hometown, and my son will not be released so quickly, just let Xiao Zhi go back with me." ”

As soon as he heard that Xiao Zhi wanted to go back with him, Master Xiao said: "Then let the red bean child go with him, there are not many opportunities to return to his hometown in the future, take this opportunity to let these juniors also go to worship." "Anyway, Xi Hongdou is already the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, so it's no problem to bring it.

"Okay, then I'll pack my things tomorrow and leave the day after tomorrow!" Mrs. Xiao said that if you go early, you can return early.

Master Xiao nodded in agreement, his wife is usually domineering, but his vision is not bad, his wife is good!

The next day, Xi Hongdou was called by Mrs. Xiao and told him to pack his luggage and go to Jiangnan.

The caravan has Yao Sange, basically don't have to worry about it, the grain store is the same, although the barbecue restaurant has just changed places, but the basic operation is the same as before, she told Lu Zhi to worry a lot, she is not there, and things at home can't be messed up.

After all the instructions, Xi Hongdou went home to pack his luggage, and Abu's little head poked out.

"Sister, are you going to leave again?" Abu asked in a whisper.

After Abu was bought back by Xi Hongdou, he kept it in the backyard, and when he came, he shaved his bald head directly, and now his hair is also long, half of it is braided on the top of his head, and the remaining half is scattered, which belongs to the fusion hairstyle of Yanyun and Hui Hui, Xi Hongdou smiled, this Abu is more and more like a little wolf cub.

"Just go for half a month, you are honest at home, Rue Xiang teaches you to read, you also have to learn seriously, if you want to survive in Yanyun in the future, you don't know Yanyun's words." Xi Hongdou said that since she bought Abu back, she has not taken care of her carefully, and she is busy enough to do things in the shop all day long, and Abu is also taking care of Ruxiang and Mama Liu.

"Sister, can I go together?" Abu asked, and the black, big-eyed pig looked at Xi Hongdou.

Xi Hongdou thought about it, taking Abu away can also let Ruxiang and Mama Liu rest for a few days, and Abu is not naughty or a bear child, so it shouldn't be troublesome to go out with him, so he said: "Then I'll ask Madame, Madame will let us go together." ”

Abu responded happily, and then ran away happily, because he didn't have much chance to go out when he was bald before, and this time he was able to play with Xi Hongdou.

Xiao Zhi entered the door at this time, and saw that Abu was like a loose man, so he said, "What is this little guy happy about?" ”

Xi Hongdou said: "I want to take him with me, and I will ask Mrs. in a while." ”

Xiao Zhi didn't object, so he said, "Everything is packed up?" ”

"I don't have a lot of things, bring some change of clothes and money, and I can go all over the world without fear!" Xi Hongdou smiled, as long as you have money, what can't you buy?

Xiao Zhi smiled, and then said, "Dad also wants you to worship your ancestors this time." ”

Xi Hongdou understands that this is the Xiao family's affirmation of her.

In the afternoon, Xi Hongdou went to Mrs. Xiao to tell him that Abu also went with him, and Mrs. Xiao did not object, but there is one point, this child eats and drinks Lazar can be taken care of by Xi Hongdou, and he has to watch it, and the child is easy to lose everywhere, so Mrs. Xiao let Xi Hongdou take care of all the troubles.

Xi Hongdou naturally took the package ticket, and then went to help Abu pack his things, Abu's clothes were only a few sets, basically all of them were brought, and Abu brought a small wooden knife, which Xiao Zhi carved for him. The next day, the group set off together.

The area south of the Yangtze River is very large, and Hexi Prefecture is also considered to be the area of the south of the Yangtze River, so Mrs. Xiao said: "After worshipping the ancestors, I will go to my in-laws' house and set the wedding date first." "This is also discussed with Master Xiao, Xiao Zhi doesn't want to get married before the list, so it will not be delayed to set the wedding date after the list.

Xi Hongdou nodded, this is also a matter of time or time, he is almost seventeen years old now, even if he gets married, it is estimated that it is not too early.

Along the way, Abu was very excited, Mrs. Xiao was sleeping in a daze along the way, but Abu was very energetic all the way.

"Don't run out of the car by yourself, you are small-looking, someone will definitely kidnap you, if people kidnap you, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find you." Xi Hongdou told Abu that there is no monitoring in this world and no Skynet or anything, and if the child loses most of it, he will not be able to see him if he is really dead.

Abu nodded obediently, he was afraid that he would not see Xi Hongdou in the future.

All the way to Jiangnan, Xi Hongdou had a familiar feeling, the humidity in the air, the bright sunshine, all made her feel comfortable.

Mrs. Xiao first asked the housekeeper to find the ancestral grave of the Xiao family, and then it was to worship the ancestors, all the melons, fruits, pears, peaches, and pig's head meat were all placed, and she also specially found a Taoist priest to choose a good time to bury the ashes of the old lady of the Xiao family.

After the matter was done, there was not much time wasted, but it was not early, and they had to start their journey again tomorrow morning, so they found an inn in the county town to rest for a day.

After eating in the evening, Xi Hongdou saw that the people outside the inn were in a hurry, and after a while, the sky was dark, and when he looked at the street, he could hardly see people.

"Is there a curfew in this city? Even Kyoto City doesn't seem to have such an early curfew, right? Xi Hongdou asked curiously, the places outside Kyoto City, except for military aircraft places, there will be no curfews in other places.

The owner of the inn said at this time: "Recently, there are flower thieves in the city, who specially pick Miaoling's girls to attack, and three girls have died of poisoning. Speaking of which, the innkeeper also reminded: "Don't go out at night if the girl is fine, the flower thief is ruthless!" ”

Xi Hongdou also felt scary when he heard it, thinking that this flower thief was also a pervert, hateful enough!

At night, four people in three rooms, Abu went and slept, Xi Hongdou and Mrs. Xiao each had one, thinking that they would have to hurry in the morning, Xi Hongdou went to bed early, and when he slept until midnight, it rained outside the window, Xi Hongdou woke up to the sound of the window creaking, so he got up and went to close the window, but just to the window, he found that there was a strip of cloth hanging down, Xi Hongdou looked up, and called out, there was a person outside the window who was looking at her upside down, this picture was too terrifying, Xi Hongdou didn't know how long this person had been lying upside down here, Have you been being peeked at all the time?!

As soon as Xiao Zhi in the next room heard the voice, he rushed out of the door directly, and without even knocking on the door, he kicked the door directly and came in, just looking at a person who was strangling Xi Hongdou's neck and wanted to drag people out of the window.

Xi Hongdou also happened to see Xiao Zhi coming in at this time, and the struggle was even more intense, this is going to be taken away, it is estimated that even if her innocence is not destroyed, that person's words are terrifying, and her future days can be imagined!

The flower thief only showed two eyes, Xiao Zhi hurriedly rushed up, kicked the person out of the window with a flying kick, and Xi Hongdou was free and could breathe.

Xiao Zhi saw that Xi Hongdou was fine, and leaned out of the window without saying a word, but the person fell but didn't fall well, after all, this is only the second floor, the person got up directly and was about to run, Xiao Zhi jumped and climbed out of the window to chase people.

Xi Hongdou hurriedly shouted: "Don't chase, it's dangerous!" "The flower thief has already killed three lives, he is an outlaw, what if Xiao Zhi catches up with him, what if he is overshadowed?

Mrs. Xiao also came over with her clothes on at this time and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"The flower thief is here, Xiao Zhi is chasing people!" Xi Hongdou said.

"Huh? The flower thief is coming? Are you okay then? Mrs. Xiao hurriedly looked at Xi Hongdou.

Xi Hongdou shook his head: "It's just that my neck was strangled, I'm fine, but Xiao Zhi went to chase someone, that person had a life on his hand, I'm afraid something will happen to her!" Then he quickly put on his clothes and went downstairs.

The innkeeper heard the movement and knew that he had recruited a flower thief, and immediately one head and two big, if something happened, who would dare to live in his inn in the future? After that, I hurried to the Yamen to report to the official!
